Connected in one of the apertures 20 in the said plate 19 is the link of a flexible chain 22, the same being 15 ralso connected to one of the links 13, therei "to the body of the receptacle, so as to obviate the possibility of the loss or misplacernent of by permanently connecting'the top head 18 the' said head when the body of the receptacle is collapsed. Also connected to the other head la is a chain ,23, the same being connected with one of the links l3'at the-opposite end of the body 0f the receptacle, the said chain 23 being .designed to prevent the loss or misplacement of the headlllt when Ithe'receptacle hasbeen collapsed.

In Figs. 6 and 7 there is shown a slight modification inthe constructionof the body of the receptacle wherein the staves or slats 24 are connected in spaced relation to each other through the medium of Wire loops 2,5,

` the same embracing the said sta'ves or slats at intervals the ends of each Wire'lo'op 25 being passed vthrough the stave or slat and are bent to form eyes 26 which inbrace the outside length of the Wireloop 25 thereby Securely fastening the said Wire loop upon the no eopua staves'uto prevent displacement of the loop thereon. The Wire loops v25 on adjacent stavesfZJ-.fare linked together as at 27 by loosely connecting the loops in amanner as shown. c l v When the heads 14: and 18 have been re-y moved :froml the body of the receptacle the latter vmay be readily collapsed into fiat con'- Vdition for occupying the least possible space planation hasbeen omitted.

A receptacle of the ,class described, comprising a collapsible body formed of a plurality of spaced staVeS, loop-like bands 'embracing the staves at intervals,links connecting said bands, removable heads engaging in opposite ends of said body, flexible connections between the heads and the said body, a

reinforcing ring mounted on the outer face.

of one head, and a reinforcing plate mounted on the outer face of the other head.
